Attract the Right Job or Clientele:
The Art of Accepting Feedback Resembles Moving ‘No’ to Yes!’
We are all artists, in some fashion, in regard to how we approach our work. It begins with a clean canvas and then each stroke represents one step closer to our completed project. Our unique thought provides the element of artistry no matter which endeavor we choose. But, it is the unique thought that gives way to feedback that may not be so fondly looked upon. How commentary is handled will make a difference in the long-term and may affect sales.
In the early years of selling, it was a process to learn how to establish warm responses from prospective clients. While it wasn’t initially fun, and somewhat aggravating to hear more “no’s” than anticipated, the experience became a great training ground.
Lessons learned:
- “No” is sometimes a stall tactic seeking clarification
- “No” may simply be due to poor past experiences that need to be uncovered and addressed
- A smile and calm nature goes a long way to turning ‘no’ into ‘Yes!’
The most important lesson is that the sale is only worthwhile if there is a true need and a bond is felt between all parties. Otherwise, forcing a sale or prolonging a negative outcome only wastes your time.
Accepting feedback:
Feedback is actually a bit harder to take because we personalize it. In preparation for receiving input, should you be requesting it, have a larger vision in mind ahead of time while answering these questions:
- What is your desired outcome for the project?
- Will feedback help you improve the delivery?
- Are you prepared to make the suggested improvements that make sense and disregard the rest?
The exercise of answering those questions will relieve some of the tension as you begin to receive some unwanted insight. If there is the least bit of truth attached to it, determine how you may fix to improve. Recognize that given we each possess unique thought, perspectives may vary tremendously.
In regard to the varied perspectives, consider whether there is some common ground in order to reach a wider audience. This directly relates to negotiation. But only make adjustments if they are in alignment with your thinking, because everything you do reflects back to your integrity and personal brand.
Ultimately, the no’s and the feedback point to the sales motto of, “qualify and match”. The interested client, and the person providing constructive feedback are the people you want on your team.
The teamwork your put into place serves to produce the final masterpiece of the returning and referring clientele, also known as the Smooth Sale!
